That said there was a Terrier Dart SLF hanging around Barnsley depot the other day - may just have been here for other work though. Yher I saw that on the Alhambra Roundabout heading into town I think wasnt quite sure whether it went into the bus station or down Harborough Hill Road busestrainstrams.fotopic.net/p36909578.html |

Yes, W475MKU has come back in from its repaint, though possibly only today; I caught it on the 52 this afternoon and it stank of paint. This bus has, as with most others had its interior reupholstered. I've not seen the final Terrier liveried DAF W478MKU all week so I suppose it MAY be in paintshop?  Quite possible - they've generally being doing 1 Sheffield and 2 'Yorkshire' buses per week. That said there was a Terrier Dart SLF hanging around Barnsley depot the other day - may just have been here for other work though. Chesterfield are also doing Sheffield/Yorkshire vehicle repaints again - currently ex Barnsley and District B10BLE T550 AUA is there for repaint. Yes I saw T550AUA in Barnsley, no fleet numbers on outside not Stagecoach or Traction. Anyone seen any pictures of the Stagecoach livery YN54VKA bus. I went to Barnsley today (16-12-2006) to try and find or take a picture but it did not seem to be in service. |

YN54 VKA was in service today and was spotted by my own eyes on Service X19 which operates from USR garage from Barnsley VIA Frenchagte to Maid Marrien Airport.
Looks really good in its new livery and i hope the others will be repainted shortly.

The yellow and purple/blue livery was awful. YTC missed an opportunity to launch a brand new livery for the whole fleet based on red and blue. The reasoning behind the yellow & purple livery was that Frank (Carter) wanted something that "stood out". Any combination of red/white/blue would not be all that distinctive in a town full of red / white / blue vehicles already. So something totally different was opted for, the inspiration for the colours coming from Bournemouth (yellow and blue) - but the blue was changed for purple. In some respects the yellow/purple worked - it got noticed, the vehicles stuck out. In other respects - i.e. the choice of colours - it was vile ! |

PS. can it be sometime next year (2207) but what is best for your staff If you are still here in 2207 im sure the buses which are currently in the depot now wont be there then and there probably wont be any buses on the road in 201 years! - you have a long wait for your depot tour anyway! |

seeing pictures of it on the internet, it is already quite mucky Erm, most buses operating in weather like we've had recently will be. That's why (decent) companies wash their vehicles at the end of each day, so at least they start the next day looking vaguely presentable. |

Such as 521 which was absolutely filthy early the other morning...
